I’m bringing back out my CZ 602 BRNO that was built by LonPaul of Tangle Wood Custom Guns in .458 Lott.
It’s been twenty years since I’ve used it, and I’m looking to reload my previous known loads, 500 AGS, Woodleigh 500 SP’s.
That said I want to develop a new load with the NorthFork 450 gr. FP Solids. These are the new ones that are made in Sweden . Decades ago I used to shoot the NF’s in 7mm, and 30 cal so their design isn’t new to me.
Who has some real world experience with these Solids in .458? Especially load data? Please list the results and the rifle used, bbl length, velocities, powder weight and type, etc.
I’ll be using New A-Square brass that I have on hand. Yes it’s new old stock that I saved, I also have 500 TBBC’s, and Speer 500 gr African Grand Slams, 450 TSX’s for the Soft Point bullets. All of which I have previously tested twenty five years ago. But it’s the solids that I will be switching over to from the Woodleigh 500 gr. FMJ’s.
If you have any data that you used with the Barnes Triple Shocks I’d appreciate that resource as well since it’s easy to cross reference those with a NF as the act similar in some respects. Unlike the Brass Banded Solid’s which I’m not a fan of, or a brass projectile in particular that’s out there.
Thanks in advance for your personal experience loading the Lott, and any details you can share.
